DeAI proof points: usage stats across compute, storage and training networks
Quote194 words
Argues the battle is for open AI infrastructure and lists reported usage figures from decentralized compute, storage and training networks as proof DeAI is already working.
Key claims
Aethir 400K+ active GPUs
Akash 99.99% uptime since 2021
Chutes processed 3.6B tokens since January 2025
AI is not just a tool, it's about to become the operating system of the global economy.
Yet, legacy infra is breaking under the load with compute costs doubling, outages rising, and 96% of models behind corporate walls.
The solution?
DeAI.
As @MTorygreen outlines, DeAI is not just a narrative, it's the future and the proof is already here:
- @ionet: GPU supply in 138+ countries
- @AethirCloud: 400K+ active GPUs
- @Filecoin: 2+ EiB stored
- @akashnet: 99.99% uptime since 2021
- @rendernetwork: 80% cheaper GPU rendering
- @chutes_ai: 3.6B tokens processed since Jan 25
- @tplr_ai: Trained a 1.2B model fully permissionlessly
- @nineteen_ai: Outperforming most @openrouter providers by throughput
- @gradients_ai: Outperforming centralized AutoML platforms at lowest cost with best instruction finetuning results
Right now, the race isn't about agentic app layer use cases. It's about ensuring the infrastructure that the future of humanity is built on remains open and is owned by us, not the big corporations.
It's literally why crypto matters. Open infra, sovereign compute, and global networks no government or corporation can shut down.
The $200T AI economy is real.
The battle we have to win is infrastructure.
